1865 Elysian Fields artwork....perhaps the first significant BaseBall collectible.
While the experts in another thread are currently debating which BB card was first, I consider this 1865 Currier & Ives lithograph
of Elysian Fields (23" x 15" picture) one of the very first BaseBall "Art-i-facts" (excuse the pun). It's the centerpiece in my office, surrounded by my various uncut sheets (1927 to 1961 BB & FB cards). The first organized game of BB was played on June 19, 1846 in this ballpark in Hoboken, New Jersey.  …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………….… a young V Henry Chadwick  TED Z T206 Reference .
